Default Clutch Decision

I am going to be replacing my clutch and flywheel. Right now, I have the ACT Street Kit with Toda Flywheel.

One of the main reasons I want to change it is the flywheel. Toda is too light and too noisy. I heard great things about the 11lbs Competition Clutches Flywheel and that's probably what I will get.

As for the clutch, I heard good and bad stuff about competition clutches, mostly good though. I am planning to get the Stage 4 kit. Is this a good decision?

The clutch is too hard with ACT. I heard Competition Clutches is even softer than OEM. I kinda like that ACT is hard because I feel like I have more control with the pedal when it is harder.

Mods are in the sig, which clutch kit would you recommend? why?

I have a 9lb competition flywheel (which i got when i was supercharged) and a comp clutch stage 4, with the 6 puck... I'm not sure if the 2 pounds would make a large difference compared to my friend's cars with the 11lb with ACT, but i love the way his clutch feels.
My car is horrible to accelerate on a hill, make all types of drivetrain buzz on decel, and even on just semi-accell. The clutch feel is lighter than stock, but is alot more abrupt, almost like a on/off switch. if i could, i would switch to the ACT kit in a heartbeat... at least for DD.
Don't get me wrong, this clutch has never ever slipped, and when shifting hard it just grabs, but so do my buddies, who are making 425 and 495 at the wheels...

I have the Stage 3 Competition Clutch and it had no problems holding up to my torque (293 at the wheels). Not sure if you need a stage 4 or iron man.

there are no hills in florida so that won't be a problem. it is all straight. the only thing that I am worried is that if the pedal is too light, i feel like i have less control with it
